Yes, it was fake. We all know that by this point. Nevertheless, let's be human. It's a fact that people died that day, a hoax or not. 2,976 Americans. 2,976 families.

Today, I finally read about the Rohingya Muslims. About the atrocities committed against them. About the evilness in the world. And those barbaric Buddhist, people who wouldn't dare harm an insect, but are willing to crush the little fingers of children by running them over with a motorcycle (and yes, that has taken place.

Its been six days since I've arrived home, four days since my college test and one year since it's rained.

Racism. A vial term, so openly practiced in today's lifestyle. Yesterday, in Columbus, Ohio, Rahma Warsame, a Muslim female, was beaten unconscious by a white male, that too for defending another Muslim women from harassment, as per Columbus Chapter of American-Islamic Relations.
